I would bet a lot of money against that statement.


Why? You think he won’t run again? Or do you think the GOP will come to their senses and stop nominating him?

I don't accept accept as friends people who say the things Donny has said and did the things Donny has done. Why should I accept one as President? And why should I accept as friends those who approve of the things Donny has said and approve of the things Donny has done? Wherever the line is between respecting someone and giving them a wide berth, Donny has long since crossed it. And those who support him and are going to vote for him have crossed that line as well.


I can ask the same question of Harris. If you consider Harris to have supported and helped craft the Biden/Harris agenda of the last 4 years, then how can I accept as President someone who has allowed millions of extra illegals in, encouraged freeing criminals onto the streets by the Democrat policy of ‘bail reform’ and even the silly ‘cashless bail’, whose minimum wage policies have been the spur for unchecked inflation, who just yesterday (her ad) said she will lower taxes on over 100 million Americans (without mentioning which programs she’ll be cutting to make up for the lost revenue), same for no tax on tips, will stop ‘price gouging’ by ‘big companies’ on food ( basically being anti capitalism), much more but have to leave for golf….

My point being I understand your point about not accepting as ‘friends’ Trump voters, can you accept my reasons for thinking quite lowly about Harris supporters?

If you think about it, it’s why I support neither.

She was VP. No power to craft Biden policies. Im not scared of illegals. I need service. Let them in. Good hard working people. What Im wary of is being a crime victim by a US citizen. Being a crime victim by an illegal is like getting hit by lightning. US citicen criminals are the ones committing 99.999% of crimes in this country. Bail reform are local Dem laws. Have nothing to do with Presidential politics. Inflation is a worldwide problem caused by the Ukraine war. The lowering taxes promise is up there with Mex paying for a wall. It's just campaign nonsense every politician spouts. No tax on tips will go nowhere. Stopping price gouging is just more political BS.
My point is not much will change. The Presidency is not a powerful position.
You are so anti Dem, you buy the extremist right wing propaganda. Reality is not much will change. She might get abortion legalized. Maybe. Probably not. Hard to change anything in this country.

There is a far cry from Harris's policy poistions versus Donny's personal statements and actions that place him in ill repute, such as grabbing women by the pu$$y, his civil judgement against his for defamation and SA, his actions to subvert the election, his participation in an insurrection, his praise for those who engaged in such and his generally poor and sleezy character. There's no comparison between Donn'ys sleeziness and Kamala's integrity.

I legit could care less about illegals. They commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens, their children born here will become the citizens workers, college students, engineers, doctors, lawyers and soldiers of tomorrow. That compensates for our declining birth rate. And if the illegals are caught, well, deportation is a very real possibility. That;s just the law. As for bail reform, well, let;s just say that bail is supposed to be a cash promise to appear for court, not a means to punish the accused. People in jail awaiting trial can't work or go to school to turn themselves around. As for minimum wage, it's typical for a conservative to be against the lower class workers making too much money. Much more, but I have to make lunch...

Illegals do a lot of the grunt work, the dirty work, the hard work, that we legals are too lazy or feel we are above doing ourselves.

Also I bet there are damn few homeless illegals whacked out on fentanyl: they're engaged in bettering themselves as opposed to being so disenchanted with the USA that they want to nullify their life.

this took a while to come out

way to go MSM bloodhounds

Quote:
[in the big whoop-do-e-do interview] Speaking of fracking, Harris also referenced a 2020 debate where she claims she said that she supported fracking... A review of [the only possible debate] transcript, however, shows no such statement being made.

In other words, she knowingly lied.

I think if he is still alive his health will be so poor that he won't be viable.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Can still be behind the scenes kingmaker
He rates Republicans on how far they bend the knee
Herschel Walker, Dr Oz and Kari Lake bend the knee
He will continue his grip on the Republican party till he dies. It's the Trump party for the foreseeable future
